The scarecrow's strength far exceeded our expectations, and Li Yunxi and I could only barely resist its attack.
Every attack of the Scarecrow seems to carry strange power. Although its body is made of straw, it is extremely hard, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to cause effective damage to it.
Just as we were desperately resisting, a series of deafening explosions came from the female Zhong Kui's side.
I looked up and saw countless corpse butterflies in the sky exploded into pieces and turned into ashes under her attack.
After the battle, the female Zhong Kui turned around and flew towards us.
Her movements were swift, and her eyes showed cold murderous intent.
She came to my side and joined us in fighting the Scarecrow.
The scarecrow's attack method is extremely weird. It can change positions in an instant and launch surprise attacks, making it almost impossible for us to capture its movements.
In the dangerous confrontations, we felt unprecedented pressure.
Finally, after a fierce exchange, we found the Scarecrow's weakness.
I chanted the powerful spell, combined with Li Yunxi's sword skills and the female Zhong Kui's attack, we finally chopped the scarecrow into countless pieces.
After the battle, the female Zhong Kui didn't leave any words. She just looked at us coldly and then flew back to Su Huanxing's room on the second floor.
Her figure looked particularly mysterious and powerful in the moonlight.
I looked at the female Zhong Kui's leaving figure and felt a little shocked.
"This girl is usually silly, but I didn't expect that after turning into a female Zhong Kui, she would be so cold and strong." I sighed in a low voice.
Li Yunxi also showed a shocked expression. She said to me: "This time, if it weren't for her, we would both be dead."
After this incident, Li Yunxi and I decided to take turns staying on duty tonight to prevent any unexpected events.
I stayed up for half the night, and Li Yunxi stayed up for the rest of the night.
In the night, the town seemed particularly quiet.
But we know that maybe the enemy is watching us secretly and will launch a fatal blow just waiting for us to relax our vigilance.
Fortunately, the night was uneventful and the corpse butterfly did not come again.
The next day, the sun shines through the curtains into the warm room.
We got up early and planned to go to a nearby bun shop for breakfast.
Su Huanxing skipped ahead and shouted, his voice clear and childlike: "I want to eat meat buns!"
The morning in the town is particularly quiet, and the shops on both sides of the street have just started to open for business.
We found a steamed bun shop that looked quite historic, and the owner was skillfully steaming steamed buns.
"I want to eat meat buns, this one, and this one..." Su Huanxing pointed at the various buns in the steamer and said impatiently.
I looked at the steamer full of buns and smiled helplessly: "Okay, let's have some of them all."
After a while, the boss brought out several large plates of steamed buns. When Su Huanxing saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at the table full of buns, she clapped her hands happily and made a satisfied sound while eating.
After finishing breakfast, Li Yunxi looked at me seriously and asked, "What should we do next? Continue to avoid Su Mingli?"
I thought for a while and replied: "It's impossible for the corpse butterfly in southern Xinjiang to appear for no reason last night. It was probably sent by Su Mingli.
No matter where we go, we may be followed by corpse butterflies.
Escape is not a long-term solution. "
I paused and continued: "I think we should go directly to Su Mingli and have a showdown to see what he wants."
Li Yunxi nodded, with a firm expression on his face: "Okay, let's go to the Su family and face all this directly."
I looked at Su Huanxing. She was still happily playing with the bun skins on the table, completely unaware of the complexity and dangers of the outside world.
I took a deep breath and made up my mind to protect her no matter what.
We packed up our things, left the hotel, and walked along the stone road in the town, heading in the direction of Su's house.
The sun shines on us, but the shadows in our hearts have not dissipated at all.
A few hours later, Li Yunxi, Su Huanxing and I came to the Su family again.
The scene in front of us was very different from when we left. The door of the Su family was closed tightly, the red lanterns fell messily to the ground, and the surrounding area seemed unusually quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the past.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
I stepped forward and knocked hard on the heavy door.
After a moment, a servant's face emerged from the crack in the door.
After he saw me, his face suddenly turned pale, and he seemed to want to close the door immediately.
I spoke hurriedly: "Please inform the head of the Su family that I, Ma Xue, have something important to ask of you. This trip is not to seek revenge."
Su Huanxing also shouted in a childish voice: "I want to see daddy!"
Looking at Su Huanxing's face, the servant hesitated for a moment, then turned around to report.
Soon after, the door slowly opened and we were led into the living room.
Su Mingli sat there with a tired look on his face, the teacup trembling in his hand. His face seemed to have aged much in just a few days.
I went straight to the point: "Master Su, I think you have misunderstood me and Calling Star.
Today I am here to explain it clearly. "
Su Mingli sighed, put down the tea cup, and said in a weak voice: "Ma Xue, I must admit that I am very dissatisfied with the engagement made by your grandfather. I have been thinking of ways to change everything."
I frowned and asked in confusion: "Why? Does it mean you don't trust my grandfather's ability?"
Su Mingli nodded, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I don't trust him.
I have been looking for other ways to find a way for my daughter to survive before the appointed time comes. "
I was silent for a while and then said: "But now it seems that your approach did not bring good results."
Su Mingli smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, I was wrong.
The Su family is now in a very unstable state, and there is really nothing I can do. "
Li Yunxi listened quietly and did not interrupt.
I turned my head and glanced at Su Huanxing. She still maintained her childlike innocent smile, seemingly not caring about everything in front of her.
I took a deep breath and said to Su Mingli: "Uncle Su, no matter what, I will do my best to protect Huanxing.
As for the Su family's trouble, maybe I can be of some help. "
Su Mingli looked at me, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
There was a trace of helplessness and pain on his face, and he whispered: "I thought I could solve the problem of calling the stars, but now it seems that I am just seeking skin from a tiger."
Li Yunxi and I looked at each other with shock in our eyes.
"Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan?" Li Yunxi asked.
Su Mingli nodded, with a hint of despair in his voice: "Yes, they came to me and offered to solve the problem of Summoning Star.
